I'd like to second Ted's call for a good fs test suite. This would helpgreatly in eliminating obscure fs bugs, and would guard againstaccidental breakage when things are changed in the kernel. We reallyneed a more formalized set of testing procedures, and running anexpanding set of test suites would be a good start.

This would be an excellent project for someone looking for a way to helpimprove the kernel.
